Abstract

One of the subthemes of the 2018 CWUAAT is “Breaking down barriers between people with impairments and those without impairments.” This chapter describes an innovative undergraduate class that has, over a 10-year period, broken down barriers between undergraduate computing students without disabilities and computer users with disabilities. The chapter discusses the need for teaching about ICT accessibility within the computing curriculum, and offers details on how to implement innovative approaches in an undergraduate class, including field trips, and one-to-one partnerships between students and computer users with disabilities outside of the university community.
